I was planning on writing a detailed post about what happened to me during the weekend, but I'm utterly exhausted and woozy from my latest round of vicodin, so I'm heading back to bed in a few minutes...
Long story short... on Friday evening I ended up in the ER because of some excruciating stomach pains that were making it hard to breathe. They spent most of the night/morning running tests and after a 5AM ultrasound, decided that I needed surgery (gallbladder removal). Basically, I had an infected gallbladder, which had elevated my white blood cell count & was causing some liver issues. Thankfully, they were able to perform laparoscopic surgery, so there are only three small incisions (I am so glad they didn't have to slice me completely open!) and all of my test results are now back to normal.
I'm home from the hospital now & thankfully, I have M here to help me out (he took some time off from work)... there's still a ton of pain (oh, how I wish I still had that morphine drip!), but I'm managing fairly well, all things considered.

Sorry for the inconvenience and pain. Hope you're well soon, and that you body adjusts to the change.
Does this mean you'll have less gall in the future?
Well, at least less of the stomach type... probably not so much of the boldness/insolence type. :)
Oh-so very loate, but I hope you're doing better! :o( That's so horrible!
